General, please be a loyal minister!

"Mandarin ducks are flying, and Bi Zhiluo will take them; a gentleman will live for thousands of years, and he will be blessed. Mandarin ducks are in Liang, and their left wings..."

The sound of morning reading is transmitted from the academy to the Nuan Pavilion, where the winter plum blossoms are quietly blooming and the sandalwood is quietly burning.

A figure in a crow-blue Confucian uniform lay dozing on a recliner, with a copy of "University" covering his face.

It seemed that something disturbed the dream of the sleeping man. The book covering his face was driven by a slight frown, and he lost his delicate balance. It slipped from his face and hit the ground, making a lot of noise.

This sound completely shattered the dream of the young man, he slowly opened his clear eyes, and saw the beams of the Nuan Pavilion.

"Xiaoya·Mandarin Duck" was recited again in the school.

Cheng Ju turned sideways to pick up the book that fell on the floor, lay back on the recliner, and stared at the beam in a daze.

He has forgotten what he dreamed of, and he only vaguely remembers it, but now listening to the distant and empty sound of reading, his disturbed state of mind has calmed down again.

It really was just a dream, the academy is so peaceful, what bad things could happen?

Cheng Ju slowly closed his eyes, quietly listening to the harmonious recitation.

The mandarin ducks are flying, and Bi Zhiluo is there; I wish the gentleman with high character and good character, a long life and a long life.

……

The news of Jing Xiu's death quickly reached Liu Xuan's ears. He didn't react at first, thinking that he had heard it wrong, but after confirming it, his face turned pale.

This time he firmly grasped the attendant's hand and did not faint, but when he saw Jing Xiu with his eyes closed in the coffin in Yushi's Mansion, his vision still went dark, he spurted a mouthful of blood, and fell to his knees.

Jing Xiu's earnest teachings to him, his protection and support for these years flashed before him quickly, and soon the memories overwhelmed the reality, and were annihilated by the darkness, Liu Xuan fell forward.

In the end, what remained in his ears were a few calls from others.

"Young master!" This is his courtier.

"Husband!" This is his wife.

Before losing his final consciousness, Liu Xuan grabbed Zhou Wan's sleeve and let her put his ear to his mouth: "Call... General Yuwen—come back!"

The successive accidents between Zhao Ji and Jing Xiu dealt a very serious blow to Liu Xuan.

He doesn't even want to admit this cruel reality, preferring to sleep forever, but in reality there are still people who need his protection, and Liangzhou who needs his support.

He still woke up amidst the sound of sobbing. He slowly rolled his eyes and looked around at the female relatives in the house—all parties were present.

Zhou Wan sat at the place closest to him, saw him wake up and immediately held his hand: "General Yuwen has arrived."

Liu Xuan nodded slowly: "Tell them to go out and let General Yuwen come in."

When Yu Wenxun came in, Liu Xuan had already sat up.

The doctor said that Liu Xuan had been hit one after another, and he was so anxious that he hurt his heart, so he asked him to rest.

But how to rest?

Jingxiu's accident made Liangzhou, which was already in turmoil due to Zhao Ji's disappearance, even more precarious.

They are the pillars of Liangzhou!Now that two of them are suddenly broken, can he still support Liangzhou with only Yu Wenxun left?

As soon as Yuwen Xunfu received Liu Xuan's order, he rushed back to Liangzhou without even having time to tidy up his appearance.

Looking at Yu Wenxun's face full of wind and frost, Liu Xuan's anxiety eased a little.

Liu Xuan took out his young master's order, put it in Yu Wenxun's hand, and held his hand tightly: "I have two orders for you. One, take Mrs. Zhou and Young Master Xi away; two, choose one you trust The troops will be transferred back to Liangzhou."

Hearing what Liu Xuan said, Zhou Wan, who was standing by, looked at him in astonishment: "Husband!"

Liu Xuan closed his eyes not to look at Zhou Wan's pleading eyes: "Liangzhou is no longer a place for you to stay for a long time. If you stay here, my hands and feet will be bound."

Zhou Wan belonged to the Zhou family, the wife of the young master whom the Song family had always wanted to replace.

Jing Xiu was killed, and Zhao Ji has no news now, so I'm afraid there will be more bad luck than good luck.

Liu Xuan's power has been greatly damaged, and he is almost unable to control Liangzhou. The next thing is not a storm, but a bloody storm. He has no confidence that he can't protect Zhou Wan and Liu Xi.

Liu Xuan's move was not only to protect Zhou Wan's mother and son, but also so that he could wholeheartedly deal with the changes in Liangzhou in the future.

This is more than just love between children, so Zhou Wan endured her grief and said righteously to Liu Xuan: "That's why I can't leave. Liangzhou is in a precarious time. My departure can save my life, but isn't it on a ship that is about to capsize? More straw?"

At this time, every move of Liu Xuan will cause great fluctuations in people's hearts. Sending Zhou Wan and Liu Xi away, it is inevitable that some people will guess whether Liu Xuan is going to be cruel to some people, so he protects the selected heir in advance.

At this time, Yu Wenxun said: "I have a suggestion."

Liu Xuan looked at Yu Wenxun: "General, please tell me."

Yu Wenxun glanced at Zhou Wan, hesitant to speak.

Liu Xuan noticed Yu Wenxun's expression: "But it's okay to say."

Now that Liu Xuan had spoken like this, Yu Wenxun had no choice but to say in front of Zhou Wan that he would apologize before making a statement: "I want to ask my wife to forgive me first."

Blame her?Why?Although Zhou Wan was puzzled, she still nodded: "Forgive your innocence."

Yu Wenxun: "I suggest that the young master make son Hui the eldest son, and in the name of consolidating the rights of the son, send son Xi to his grandfather's family to be raised."

As soon as this remark came out, Liu Xuan looked at him in astonishment, then glanced at Zhou Wan, and shook his head imperceptibly.

This suggestion established Liangzhou's successor, stabilized the Song family who now held military power, and suppressed those who wanted to make son Xi the crown prince at the source, avoiding the turmoil that might be caused by the crown prince dispute in Liangzhou.

But there are two disadvantages. One is that it is easy for the Song family to continue to grow; the other is that Zhou Wan's mother and child are separated, which is against the family relationship, so he pleaded guilty.

This method can indeed solve the urgent need, but what Yu Wenxun said was too straightforward, so Liu Xuan shook his head.

How dare he say this so bluntly in front of Zhou Wan, but if Zhou Wan is a bit stingy, his life will not be easy in the future, and if Jing Xiu or Zhao Ji come to suggest, it will definitely not be the case.

Thinking of this, Liu Xuan's heart was hurt again.

In the past, Liu Xuan didn't care about these details, and liked Yu Wenxun's straightforwardness, because even if Yu Wenxun offended someone because of this, he could still protect him, but now, he can't guarantee it anymore.

Liu Xuan sighed: "General Yuwen, if you say this, aren't you afraid that Madam will hate you?"

Yu Wenxun clasped his fists and confessed: "Madam understands the general situation and considers the overall situation, so I will definitely understand my intentions."

Liu Xuan's worry was a little too much, Yu Wenxun was not a dull person, he dared to do this because he knew Zhou Wan's character, and knew that Zhou Wan was sometimes more profound than Liu Xuan.

But Liu Xuan's uneasiness is also very reasonable. Both the shrewd Zhao Ji and the deep Jing Xiu were killed one after another. Will Yu Wenxun be stronger than them in the power field?

Liu Xuan didn't want Yu Wenxun to have another accident, he was afraid.

Zhou Wan didn't know what Liu Xuan was thinking now, but she could see that Liu Xuan was anxious, and she held Liu Xuan's hand: "Husband, just do as General Yuwen said. Parents' beloved son, do it for him." Far-reaching, there is no benefit for Xi'er staying in Liangzhou."

Liu Xuan nodded: "Okay."

The big thing is settled, so the rest is tenderness, Liu Xuan stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from Zhou Wan's eyes: "Go and see Xi'er, talk to him more."

Zhou Wan couldn't hold back her tears any longer, she turned her head to wipe away the tears, and got up to leave.

After Zhou Wan left, Liu Xuan turned his head to Yuwen Xun and said, "Send Gu to Yushi's Mansion, and then go back to Longyuan Pass to do what Gu told you."

Hearing that Liu Xuan was going to Yushi's Mansion, Yu Wenxun hurriedly warned: "Young master, the doctor said you should rest."

Liu Xuan looked at Yu Wenxun, and the persistence in his eyes was unshakable: "Take the orphan, this is an order. At this time, the orphan will not fall."

Liu Xuan was supported by Yu Wenxun on the way out of the young master's mansion. He sighed and said slowly: "When I was just unconscious, Gu Meng came to Zhao Ji and Mr. Jing. Zhao Ji smiled at Gu with his bow under the green plum tree. , with a pair of peach-blossom eyes, he said to Gu: 'Brother Xuan, skip class and go hunting rabbits!'"

Speaking of this, Liu Xuan smiled lightly: "Guzheng wanted to promise him, but at this time Mr. Jing came out, took Zhao Ji's homework, and wanted to settle his account. Zhao Ji refused, so he returned Mr. Jing's mouth Mr. Jing was not in a hurry, and he was speechless with a few words. They walked away noisy, stayed alone, and called them alone, but they didn't listen, and chased them but couldn't catch up. Soon there were only Xiagu, there is only one person, there is only one person..."

Liu Xuan's tone became lower and lower, and Dao finally trembled visibly.

One is the person he regards as brothers and sisters, and the other is the mentor who has devoted himself to him. Liu Xuan has not lost two courtiers, but two parts of his life that have been woven thread by thread since he was young were torn away. Hate is hard to get rid of.

Jing Xiu was assassinated by someone. He wanted to find out the murderer behind it, as well as the people involved in the conspiracy, including Zhao Ji's account.

Yu Wenxun's throat was very tight, apart from the haggard heartache of the lord, he was also sad for the two colleagues who had the accident.

He watched Zhao Ji grow up, and Jing Xiu was the matchmaker between him and Wei Yao. The two also had a deep friendship with him.

Up to now, he still feels that what happened one after another is unrealistic, but the deceased has passed away, and the responsibility left to him is to guard Liu Xuan. At this moment, all he can say is: "Young Master, take care of your health, please mourn."

"Of course I will take care of myself." Liu Xuan held Yu Wenxun's hand tightly and walked straight.

……

At this time, outside Changnan City of Yangzhou thousands of miles away, Han Zhao stood on the top of the hill and stared at the city ahead.

After several days and nights of tracking, he found Zhao Ji's whereabouts.

If there is no accident, his disciple is in the city ahead, in danger.

Zhao Ji, who fled to Jingzhou, failed to find Liu Ci's army as he wished, but ran into Liu Fei's army who had sneaked into Jingzhou to investigate and was captured.

The worse news is that they seem to have found out Zhao Ji's true identity, so they didn't choose to send someone to Liangzhou to talk to Liu Xuan, but planned to keep Zhao Ji to deal with their rival Liu Ci.

There is not much time left for Han Zhao, Liangzhou is thousands of miles away, how to rescue Zhao Ji without reinforcements?

He frowned, thinking about all the information he could use.

……

In Liangzhou, Yu Wenxun has returned to North Wangshan.

Liu Xuan sat alone in the study, studying a piece of paper found in Jing Xiu's study.

There are some uncoordinated words and sentences written on it. The words and sentences read very strangely, and there is no meaningful content.

Fifteen finally went to Jing Xiu's study room to check whether he was completely dead, and also to prevent Jing Xiu from leaving any information, but this letter was not suspected by him, so he kept it.

Liu Xuan could tell at a glance that this was the last message Jing Xiu wanted to leave him.

These unsound words and sentences are the code-breaking game he played with Jing Xiu and Zhao Ji when he was a teenager: replace the words in a sentence according to a certain rule, and convert them into encrypted words, which are used to convey information that he does not want to leak.

What about translations?

What did Liu Xuan remember?He got up and walked quickly to the bookshelf, and found a copy of "Eight Strategies for Treating Cold" that Jing Xiu was holding at the end.

Comparing word by word, the original text was quickly translated.

Seeing that Zhao Ji was still alive, Liu Xuan was excited at first, but soon his joy disappeared, his hands began to tremble, and his eyes were about to tear apart: Song Cong, Song Shi, Xu Zhongyan... Liu Xuan and you are irreconcilable.

The author has something to say: Chinese New Year Theater:

Ji Liang: It’s Chinese New Year, do you guys eat hot pot?I treat you.

The second master who was passing by came in and sat down calmly: "Okay, I don't eat spicy food."

Ji Liang (turning around): The bottom of the pot should be red, the spicier the better!

After the food was served—the other guards saw the color of the dish on the red bottom of the pot, and declined Ji Liang's food one after another.

The second master calmly picked up the chopsticks to heat the dishes: Ah Liang, I lied to you, I don't care about the spiciness at all... But, if you order it so spicy, can Lao Wu stand it?

Ji Liang: Why can't you bear it?He is from Hunan!

Er Ye: I didn't mean that... (sighs) Well, I get it, you didn't sleep till the fifth day.

Ji Liang sips the wine into the bottom of the pot, just in time to drench the dishes that the second master took out... In the end, the second master still didn't eat the hot pot invited by Ji Liang.

Zhao Ji (hammering the wall): Mingming Brother Xuan prepared a group dinner, but I want to celebrate the New Year in the enemy camp!

Han Zhao (Tucao): I'm still celebrating the New Year in the wild.

Jing Xiu (nothing to do with himself, with a relaxed face): It's over, I'm going back to the academy for the New Year.

Cheng Ju (waving at Jingxiu): Hurry up, brother, I've finished drinking.

Jingxiu: Here we come! (Going to Cheng Ju's side) By the way, what exactly is Qianqiu Sui?

Cheng Ju (takes Jingxiu's hand): Tonight, senior brother and Ju will go to sleep.

Jing Xiu (helplessly): I asked what is Qianqiu Sui?

Cheng Ju (looks at Jing Xiu and smiles): Ju still wants to study with his senior in the morning.

Jing Xiu: Qianqiu Sui... (Understanding something in Chen Ju's smiling eyes, he gradually fell silent, and because of nervousness, his eyes began to stare at one place and let go.)

Cheng Ju (Looking at the tense Jing Xiu, he smiled more gently)

Zhao Ji (turning back and grabbing the author's collar): They showed off in front of me just now!Benefits that the protagonist doesn't have, why should they have them! ! !

Two halves (Fang Zang): Don't worry, don't worry, I will write General Chongguang to your bed tonight.

Zhao Ji (surprised): Really?

Two halves (cautiously): Can it work in a dream?

Zhao Ji picked up his gun.

Someone found Han Zhao who was sleeping in the wild.

Master (smiling): Do you want to go back to celebrate the New Year with me?

Han Zhao (picking up the phone): Crooked!Yaoyao zero?There are perverts here!No, he hasn't done anything to me yet.But let me tell you, if you don't hurry up and arrest us both, on this New Year's Eve, either he will die or I will live!

Then Yaoyao Ling arrived and copied the master away.

There was a Spring Festival Gala in the detention center, and the boss sitting outside silently peeled an orange for the master behind the bars.

At this moment, the cold wind in the field is still there, Zhao Ji (appears suddenly): Master!I'm out, let's go home for the New Year!

Han Zhao: How did you get out?

Zhao Ji: He pointed a gun at the author, and then he came out.

Han Zhao (thought for a moment, with his understanding of Zhao Ji, he felt a little bad): You didn't force her to agree to your other strange requests?

Zhao Ji: No!I swear to God no.

Looking at Zhao Ji's convincing expression, he inexplicably felt a chill down his back.

Here, while watching the Spring Festival Gala, the two halves who had escaped from birth complained to 1.0 Zhao Ji: That insane protagonist Gong, he wants me to drive, how can I drive for him!If I drive him a car, will Ah Jin and I still live?

1.0: How did you do it?

Two halves: I told him, and I wrote it like this: "The general is drunk, Zhao Ji helped him to the bed, blowing the lamp and pulling out the wax." What else can you do depends on your ability?He just agreed.

1.0: You just let him manage Sogo?

Two and a half (laughing maliciously): Offending the author and wanting to eat meat?I arranged for Liu Xuan's family and Yu Wenxun's family to pay New Year's greetings to Han Zhao after the reunion dinner.

1.0 (looked shocked and speechless, sighed): What a loving mother and filial piety.
